Section 0776 Dilemma
Zhang Gongjin has recently begun to take long-term medication to stabilize his condition, so he rarely drinks alcohol.
However, Dugu Xiude and Dugu Shura did not let Liu Mu drink less, in Liu Mu's words, these two have a good amount of wine, and the wine is not bad, after pouring themselves to eighty, they let themselves go and then the two of them went to fight for wine.
Liu Mu still had a headache when he went back, Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er were accompanying and taking care of him, and Liu Mu was quite sober.
After being helped to sit down, Liu Mu asked casually: "I don't know what happened to the dock?" ”
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with the family. The princess has already sent a number of medical officers to take care of her, and nothing will happen. I will send someone to keep an eye on it, if a few elders can persuade them, then they will have to leave early tomorrow morning, if they miss it, then it is not appropriate to travel far for the next three days. ”
Xiao Ling'er said as she helped Liu Mu change his clothes.
Xie Xing'er lowered her head without saying a word, but her hands and feet kept busy.
Xiao Ling'er wanted to help Liu Mu to the bed, but Liu Mu said: "I don't want to sleep, this wine is estimated to be half an hour away, I can't drink this amount of wine quickly, and I can go quickly." Go and bring me a map of a few plots of land in Cixi, and let me see it again. ”
After Liu Mu finished speaking, Xiao Ling'er went in response.
Outside Xiao Ling'er's house, Xie Xing'er seemed to ask casually beside Liu Mu: "Cixi's yarn mill, I don't know if it's government-run or private?" ”
A chill boiled in Liu Mu's head.
If Dugu Xiude hadn't told him a lot today, then he wouldn't have been able to react.
When Xie Xing'er asked this, Liu Mu had a feeling in his head.
This feeling is that Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er both saw the truth about what happened on the dock today, Xiao Ling'er didn't want to tell it, but she didn't want to lie either, so she chose to let Liu Mu not ask.
However, Xie Xing'er wanted to know the final arrangement of Cixi County, or how the resources of the Thousand Islands would be distributed in the future.
Xie Xing'er is right, what's wrong with asking for some news for her mother's family.
Liu Mu opened his mouth and said: "This matter has not been decided, there will be a big manager in the country of a thousand islands, and I don't want to interfere too much in some things, I want to make this yarn mill a family office, but this matter is easy to make people red, and we are not enough to build such a big spinning mill, let's discuss it again." ”
"My husband is thoughtful, if someone in the family comes to ask me again, how will I answer?"
Xie Xing'er really asked Liu Mu this question, and Liu Mu thought for a while and didn't have a good answer. After Xiao Ling'er came in with the map, Liu Mu said to Xie Xing'er: "This matter is not in a hurry, let me think about it tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
Xie Xing'er helped Xiao Ling'er open the map, and then held the lamp so that Liu Mu could see it clearly.
Liu Mu stared at the map for a while and then said to Xiao Ling'er: "Ling'er, help me write a letter to Liu Zheng, which means that the next workshop land should be distinguished, and the dyeing workshop should be placed in a convenient place for drainage." In addition, the new workshop site not only needs coins, but also a designated section of the river where it is located. ”
"Ling'er wrote it down."
"Statement, the private workshop will destroy farmland, destroy forests, vegetation, rivers, etc., let Liu Zheng list a method of heavy punishment, let him discuss with Cui County Ling to establish a rule, and then send someone to Chang'an to send a copy."
At this point Willow stopped, and thought for a quarter of an hour before speaking.
Liu Mu's hesitation was not because he couldn't determine the data, but because he was hesitating whether to let Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er know this data. After thinking about it, Liu Mu still planned to say it.
"Write another letter to my second sister for me, telling him that the country of a thousand islands predicts that by the end of this year, all kinds of hemp will be transported to Jiangnan should reach 20,000 stones, of which no less than 20% can be used for weaving, the rest is used for ropes, nets, and sacks, and 20% is hemp pulp for papermaking. Let the second sister ask Shangshu Province to give necessary instructions. One more sentence, double next year. ”
Xiao Ling'er was startled after hearing this data, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that this letter will not be written well." ”
"If there is anything bad to write, just tell the second sister the data, I'm sleepy and let me read the letter when I wake up tomorrow morning, and send someone to Chang'an to deliver it if there is no problem."
The data of willow wood is not nonsense, 20,000 stone is equivalent to 1,000 stones.
In later generations, there were millions of people in Luzon who worked directly and indirectly with abaca, and the annual output of Manila hemp was as high as more than 400,000 tons, of which the export of hemp raw materials was also tens of thousands of tons, and the export of hemp products was one of the important incomes of Luzon.
Liumu only reached a production of less than 0.3 percent of the future generations within the year and shipped back to Datang, which is not a big goal.
After saying that, Yanagi fell asleep.
Xie Xing'er bit her lip, she wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and after helping Xiao Ling'er finish the map, the two left Liu Mu's study together.
Outside the door of the study, Xiao Ling'er said to Xie Xing'er: "I don't know what your Xie family is fighting for, and I don't care. But don't bring those things to the house, it's not a farce on the dock, it's a family fight, I won't hide it from you, our Xiao family is also involved, and someone in the family has come to look for me. ”
"Family, don't you want to help?" Xie Xing'er didn't understand.
Xiao Ling'er glanced up at the moonlight and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, who would have imagined before that you and I could have imagined that a gold mine that could pick up melon seeds and gold on a piece of land was not even as good as chicken ribs." When I saw that many people wanted to sell the gold mine, I decided not to get involved. ”
"Family, can't you ignore it?" Xie Xing'er asked again.
"Who said ignore it, do you think that the husband holds the power by marrying Her Royal Highness the Princess? Didn't the husband already tell us that this year, the country of a thousand islands alone is 20,000 stones, I don't know how much brown there is, and coconut. How many boats do these take? ”
Xiao Ling'er said this, and Xie Xing'er also reacted.
Xie Xing'er calculated: "A boat plus personnel, food and drink, simple ship repair tools, etc." There are not many goods that can be loaded, about 300 stone hemp, 100 stone palm, and about 1,000 coconuts. ”
"It can't be packed so much, and it also takes up a lot of space after the hemp is bundled, which will at least pull up fifty stone gold ore ballast, and the brown is more loose, and the hemp is two hundred stones, and the brown is eighty stones, and thousands of coconuts are about the same. Twenty days may not be able to run a round trip, the sea is not so smooth, and the ship has to be repaired when it arrives at the port. ”
When Xie Xing'er was still calculating, Xiao Ling'er suddenly rejoiced: "I know, the fleet is going to expand." It is impossible to carry so many supplies in twelve ships, at least double, or even triple. ”
